Buckle Up, 3.C.!

This is the logo of ICBC's safety
belt: awareness campaien which
runs from Aug. 24 through Sept,
14. B.C. police are setting up
extra roadside checkpoints to en-
force the four-week  buckle-up
blitz.

ICBC hopes to spare you a fine
or something worse. The aim of
the program is to alert motorists
and their passengers to the risk
they face on city streets.

Accident statistics for 1986 show
75 per cent of all traffic crashes
occurred in urban areas. Two-
thirds of all personal injury acci-
dents happened on city streets,
often a short distance from the
victim’s home.

Research conducted by ICBC
shows many people wear safety
belts on a long highway trip, but
not in town because of low speeds
and little risk.

But crashing at 50 kilometres per
hour while you’re not buckled up
is the same as falling from a
three-storey building.

The instant your car crashes and
decelerates, youll effectively weigh
several thousand pounds and it is
impossible to brace yourself.

Three out of four crashes hap-
pen within 40 kilometres of home.
The majority of serious injuries
and deaths occurs in vehicles trav-
elling under 60) kilometres per
hour.

The habit of wearing safety belts
is an easy one to acquire. ICBC
hopes that if you can remember to
use them every day during the
three-week ‘‘Buckle Up, B.C.!’’
campaign, you'll establish a
routine that could save your life.
